We are setting up microservice framework.
We use following stack for distributed tracing.
- Spring boot
- Kafka
- Zipkin
Following is how the configuration is done
In gradle.build (or pom.xml) following starter dependencies added
compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-sleuth'
compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin'
compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bus-kafka'
Add one AlwaysSampler bean
@Bean
public Sampler defaultSampler() {
return Sampler.ALWAYS_SAMPLE;
}
If we have kafka running, things work automatically.
But if kafka is not running, server does not start - this is mostly the case for development environment.
If I want to stop this, I have to comment out all the code mentioned here (as we use starter dependency with spring boot, it automatically configures as I understand).
Can we just make some changes in properties (or yaml) files so that I don't need to go and comment out all these code?
Or probably another way to disable this without doing some commenting, etc.
